majasmatverkstad_logga_150.gifA few weeks ago, the "Green food" project group of advocates launched an online service called Majas matverkstad to aid people to shop and cook more sustainably. Everyone is invited to contribute with their favourite recipe. The recipes are then compiled into weekly menus with the following environmental aspects in mind: A limited amount of meat, regionally sourced, seasonally selected food , organically produced ingredients, fish marked as “green” by the WWF,  and waste minimisation.The weekly menus can then be transformed into shopping lists with the click of a button, either in advance on your PC/Mac or during your shop on your smartphone. Here is an auto translated English version of the menus and the names of the advocates involved in the project.
